Confirmation

In April, Patrick was confirmed at Our Lady of the Fields in Millersville. It was a wonderful celebration marking this milestone in Patrick's life. Brian and I were thrilled when Patrick decided to ask Justin to be his Confirmation Sponsor. In our minds, he was the perfect choice.

Justin is Patrick's godfather and has been an integral part of his life. Justin took care of the basics - making sure Patrick knew everything about about Star Wars and that babies are "chick magnets!" But, more importantly, Justin taught Patrick about life. By his example, Justin has shown all of our children that living by your convictions using your moral compass allows you to live your life with a sense of freedom. It gives you the courage to test your own boundaries because you are aware of their limits.

Thanks, Justin, for being a wonderful godfather, nephew, cousin, and sponsor. It has been an honor to watch you grow into an amazing man. We can only hope that Patrick follows in your footsteps.

ok thanks for bringing on the tears. I may be biased but I have to agree with you on Justin being a pretty amazing man. He's an amazing father and husband too. Justin was so touched to be chosen as Patrick's sponsor. We miss you all!
